This is the 2nd attempt. The previous was reverted while we figured out
the regional mirrors (oops).
New plan: k8s.gcr.io is a read-only facade that auto-detects your source
region (us, eu, or asia for now) and pulls from the closest. To publish
an image, push k8s-staging.gcr.io and it will be synced to the regionals
automatically (similar to today). For now the staging is an alias to
gcr.io/google_containers (the legacy URL).
When we move off of google-owned projects (working on it), then we just
do a one-time sync, and change the google-internal config, and nobody
outside should notice.
We can, in parallel, change the auto-sync into a manual sync - send a PR
to "promote" something from staging, and a bot activates it. Nice and
visible, easy to keep track of.
Add a feature gate ReadOnlyAPIDataVolumes to a provide a way to
disable the new behavior in 1.10, but for 1.11, the new
behavior will become non-optional.
Also, update E2E tests for downwardAPI and projected volumes
to mount the volumes somewhere other than /etc.

Reduce CPU request of Dashboard addon
**What this PR does / why we need it**:
This PR reduces request of Dashboard addon to free up cluster resources for user pods and other addons. Dashboard is bound on memory and under-utilizes CPU
**Release note**:
```release-note
NONE
```
This update includes significant refactoring. It moves almost all of the
logic into bash scripts, modeled after the `gci` cluster scripts.
The primary differences between the two are the following:
1. Use of the `/opt/kubernetes` directory over `/home/kubernetes`
2. Support for rkt as a runtime
3. No use of logrotate
4. No use of `/etc/default/`
5. No logic related to noexec mounts or gci-specific firewall-stuff
Dashboard 1.4.2 contains a fix for an XSS security bug, so I think it would be prudent to update the Dashboard version 'shipped' with kubernetes to this version
